TO CUT WHEAT USEJE-HALF Military Necessity Oemands That Each American Eat Only IV2 Pounds Wheat Products Weekly. CORN AND 0AT$ SUBSTITUTES. Allies Must Have Wheat Enough to Maintain Their War Bread Till Next Harvest If we are ;o furnish the allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to iruiintuin their war bread from now until the next harvest, and tlds is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month as against our nor mal consumption of about 42 000,000 bushels, or 60 per cent, of our normal consumption. This Is the situation a et forth by the U. S. Food Adminis tration at Washington. Reserving a margin for distribution to the anny and for special cases, leaves for gen eral consumption approximately 14 pounds of wheat products weekly per person, the Food Administration's statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers' bread. Such breed must be durable and therefore requires a larger propor tion of wheat products than cereal breads baked In the household. Our army and navy require a full allow ance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices In the con sumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, our population In the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abundant, are more skilled In the preparation of breads from these other cerenls than the crowded city and Industrial popula tions. With Improved transportation condi tions we now have available a surplus of potatoes. We also have In the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have nmple corn and onts for hu man consumption. The drain on rye and barley as substitutes has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grain. To effect the needed saving of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance nf the American people ami we ask that the following rules shall be observed: 1. Householder to use not to exceed a total of l'a pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than Hi pounds of Victory bread coniainitif; the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of enokiiij; Hour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cukes, when! breakfast cereals, all combined, 2. I'ulillc eating places and cluls to observe two whentloss days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one uuest at any one meal nn n'srcKale of breadstuffs. macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cerenls, containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to he served unless specially ordered. Public eat ing establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, tints con forming with the limitations requested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of Hour lo any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of n barrel to any country customer nt any one time, and In no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equtil weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory hreiul sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before, mid corresponding proportion in other weights. We llso ask bakers not to Increase the amount of their wheat Hour purchases beyond 70 pel cent, of the average monthly umoum purchased In the four mouths prior to March 1. ii. Manufacturers using wheat prod nets for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. 6. There is no limit upon the use ot other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health mid satisfac tion. There Is no rensnn why nil of the American people who nre able to cook In their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less whent products than one nnd one half pounds a week, and wc specially ask the well-to-do households In the country to follow this additional pro gramme In order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a pro portion of substitutes. In order thnt we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-operation of the public by a further limita tion of distribution, and we shall place nt once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable dis tribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions. Until then we ask for l'!i', 1 " "v t " 'T.'Ti'ier '!'' 1 ' " 1 l. '. .U:".Ul!c; trudes. L People of Wheat Center Are In Hear ty Accord With Food Administration.- Old Time Lexington Resident Returns for First Visit in Twenty Five Year. Lexington people are in hearty ac cord with the Ideas of the Foor Ad ministration concerning wheatless days and the conservation of wheat and flour for our soldiers and allies across the water. Last week was "wheatless week" here and it was thoroughly observed by all. It was not possible to buy any wheat flour in any of the Lexington stores last week, because they were not selling It. But according to the merchants, "wheatles week" was so well lived up to that there was very little call for white flour. In fact a large number have expressed their willingness to go on a wheatless diet from now on until the end of Kalserism. Peter Bauernflend Makes Visit After Long Absence. Peter Bauernflend, well known Ce cil resident, made his first visit to Lexington this week in twenty-five years.

Gallant Young Officer, In Heppner During Liberty Loan Drive, Is Dead Word has been received In Hepp ner of the death of Lieutenant Alex ander G. MacDonald. MacDonald will .be remembered here as one of the speakers during the last Liberty Loan drive. He spoke at both Pine City and Rhea creek school houses and would have appeared in more meetings had his schedule permitted it. He was a young man of forceful personal attractiveness and while speaking, his earnestness wuo a re ntal Uable trait. He did a great work iu Oregon to help put over the big drive in record breaking time. MacDonald was an only son. He was a lieutenant in the 102nd North British Columbians and formerly ot the 16th Battalion. Canadian Scot tish. Desiring to return to the front Lieutenant MacDonald entered a mil itary hospital at Vancouver for a mi nor operation to his left knee. Infec tion, however, set In, and despite a light for life the young officer suc cumbed after three weeks. The Vancouver World pays the fol lowing tribute to Lieutenant Mac Donald. "Twice seriously wounded, but spared to come back to his home and family, and with every hope of re covering and returning to the trout a third time, Lieutenant Alexander 0. MacDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles MacDonald of this city, passed away at an early hour this morning, after a plucky right against pneumonia, which had developed as a consequence of infection following an operation on his knee. A bright, gallant youth, and an only son, his loss is sincerely mourned by his com rades, and the deepest sympathy is extended by a wide circle of friends to his parents and sisters, so badly unexpectedly bereaved. "Lieutenant MacDonald was edu cated at Upper Canada college and Toronto university, and when the war broke out he was engaged in sur veying for his final examination in the profession for which he was pre paring. Throwing everything up, he enlisted, an 'original first' in that glorious battalion which was to cover itself with glory, the Sixteenth, and with it fought in the series of battles that stemmed the German rush to Ca lais. He was seriously wounded at Festubert, May, 1915, hut after sev eral months in the hospital recovered and was given a commission in an other famous British Columbia unit, the 102nd. He participated in the Somme fighting in the fall of 1916 and again was wounded in November of that year. Owing to an injury to his knee, which incapacitated him for the time being from further service, he was returned to Canada in Decern ber, last, and came to Vancouver, where he spent a joyful furlough with his family. Anxious to get back to the firing line, Lieutenant MacDon ald underwent an operation on his knee three weeks ago. As already stated, infection developed and pneu monia set in, both lungs being in volved. He breathed his last shortly after four o'clock this morning. "Lieutenant MacDonald leaves to mourn the loss of a brave and gentle son and brother, his parents and three sisters, Mrs. F. A. 11. Sitwell of Chicago,' Mrs. Thomas K. Price whose husband is in France, and Miss Mary MacDonald. He was a nephew of thi. late Lieutenant John Cilmour Hay, formerly city solicitor of Vancouver, who was killed in action when light ing with the 47th battalion." Free Soo, a Chinese gardener on the Alex Cornett place in the lower end of town, died last Saturday after noon after a very brief illness. Free was about 70 years of age and so far as is known, he had no relatives in this country. The remains were laid to rest In Masonic cemetery Monday afternoon.
